This book sets out the history of Jerusalem in its broadest sense for general readers. It is told chronologically, through the lives of men and women, and seeks to show why people acted as they did, thus creating its modern-day complexity. The narrative takes 1967 as its cut-off point, as the Six Day War created the situation we have today and provides a decisive stop.

James Martin, SJ, gifted storyteller, editor at large of America magazine, popular media commentator, and New York Times bestselling author of The Jesuit Guide to (Almost) Everything, brings the Gospels to life in Jesus: A Pilgrimage, and invites believers and seekers alike to experience Jesus through Scripture, prayer and travel.

In this book Richard Littledale explores the motif of journey in the life of faith. He makes good use of illustrations, within and without, drawing on photographs, illustrations and line-drawings. He invites the reader to consider life's journey as a pilgrim's way, with leaving home, provisions, communications, distractions and a journey's end.
